Guitars that are WAY overpriced now (www.youtube.com)

Tap for spoiler

Used electric guitars are way overpriced. IMHO current guitars, regardless of country of origin (and often price), are of better quality than almost everything built from the 70's through the end of the 90's.

If you come across a true, authenticated 50's or 60's instrument that looks in mint condition, be wary. Either the original owner bought it and never learned to play it, or the most likely explanation is that it's a "dog." A bad instrument. The good ones are beat to shit. Because they were played. A lot.
